Localities in California led the way in adopting measures to combat the spread of the coronavirus, particularly with the implementation of shelter-in-place orders. This resulted in a start to spring that in many ways looks different than expected.
After nearly three weeks since the first shelter-in-place order was issued, there are some immediate changes we want to highlight, while also projecting what this may mean for the next couple of weeks as orders continue to be extended.
During our live Q&A session, we will discuss some trends our analysts have studied and answer your questions about Covid-19 impacts in CAISO.
Some topics we'll cover:
